SLEDGE The Untold Story premiered to two sold out screenings in Park City Utah. The film, invited to screen in Slamdance's main screening room on Main street, was met with positive reviews by the various film festival goers. Sledge is being repped by CAA and is currently screening in Los Angeles for domestic distribution.

Starring David Leitch and a large supporting cast of character actors and various A-List cameos, SLEDGE is a mockumentary on the rise of an exotic dancer turned martial arts action movie star Francis Allen Sledgewick, known as FRANK SLEDGE to his millions of fans around the world. Traveling through bizarre acting classes, AA meetings, and archival footage of the films that made him a star, documentarian and obsessed fan Richard Orchid, follows the former dancer turned box office phenom as he tries to reignite the magic his career once had.

It isn’t until Frank makes amends with his best friend and dance choreographer that he finds the beat that made his films so spectacular. Filled with celebrity cameos as well as 70's, 80's, and present day action spoofs, SLEDGE: THE UNTOLD STORY is a unique comedy that lays a satirical backdrop against the fascinating world of fame, fortune, and Frank.
